of the city. It would mean an

We believe the Southern-Power

matter will be gone into thorough

carry a notice in today’s paper an
nouncing that under.the leadership
of Miss Mar); Bean, the unfortunate
inmates of the county home will b’e
remembered on Thankgsiving. The
late .Mr. Thos. C. Scott always
made a canvass of the town to col
lect gifts for this purpose and his
visit to the home each Thanksgiving
'and Christmas was always looked
forward to with considerable inter
est by the inmates and afforded
them a great deal of happiness.
Now that 'Miss Bean and the young
ladies of her circle have volunteered
to take up this work, we trust that
they will tind a liberal response
from our people. We, who have so
much to.be thankful for, should
pause for -a moment and think of
those who are less fortunate than
ourselves, those.who have been de
nied even the necessities of life.
Think of what this little kindness
will mean to these folks, of the hap
piness it will bring into their souls.
Those who desire to have a share
in this noble charity are asked to
communicate with Miss Bean at
once. Wc trust she will find a lib
eral response. ,
AX INFORMATION BUREAU.
At the meeting of the Com
mercial Club last Tuesdav, the mat-
f ^
ter of the scarcity of living accom
odations in the city was brought up
for discussion and pointed out as
one of the city’s most pressing
needs just at this time. We are
several years behind in building ac
tivities, therefore the shortage of
houses is becoming a most serious
factor in the development of the
town.
To further assist in relieving
this condition, an information bu
reau was appointed by the club. It
will be the work of this'committee
to stimulate the building of houses
for rent, to eplleet data as to pres
ent houses for rent, rooms offered
for light-housekeeping, and a list
of families who arc willing to ac
cept boarders.
If this committee is given the
proper cooperation a great deal.wUl
be accomplished towards providing
living accomodations to the city’s
newcomers. It’s a serious question
just now as wc have before stated,
and the sooner the matter is looked
squarely in the face and some relief
given, the better for the town and
community.
THE BOND ISSUE FOR
STREET IMPROVEMENT
The action of city council iu or
dering an election on the question
of voting bonds for the purpose of
street improvement has our hearty
support as well a.s that of many
other citizens who have signed the
petition praying for an election in
the hope that the tax-payers of the
town will decide favorably on this
progressive move.
The issue to be decided is-
Shall the Town of Clinton issue
bonds to the amount of 'One Hun
dred Thousand Dollars bearing in
terest at a rate not to exceed, five
per cent per annum and payable
annually in the sum of two, four
and five thousand dollars from 192
to 1950 inclusive, the proceeds to
be applied exclusively for the pur
pose of building, erecting and
maintenance of streets in the Town
of Clinton? This is the question
the qualified electors are asked to
decide on Dee. 9th, and considera
ble interest will dotibtless be mani
fested in the election.
That it is time for Clinton to
take this progressive step is a state
ment that needs little discussion. If
we are to go ahead and take our
place along side of other similar
towns, the matter of street improve
ment, which we are far behind in,
needs our attention. Other towns
that have tackled this problem are
well pleased with the results and
all are unanimous in the opinion
that street building is one of the
most profitable investments any
city can take. Therefore, we are
hoping that our folks will fall in
line, face this progressive move
ment squarely in the face and roll
up a large and enthusiastic vote in
favor of the bond issue.
Just what is' proposed, the
amount of mielage the issue will
cover, etc., has not been publicly
stated. This information should
be laid before our people by the
iety council in order that the tax
payers may know’ what is con
templated and therefore be enabled
to decide* the issue all the more
favorably and intelligently.
